Dark Wood Floors

There’s no doubt that dark wood floors are beautiful and give your room a modern and elegant look. they also have several advantages over the more traditional looking light wood flooring. First, dark wood floors absorb less light making them less susceptible to fading from direct sunlight compared to lighter wood. Second, dark wood can offer a dramatic contrast when paired with furniture and color themes. Third, dark wood flooring can really allow you to see the grain of the wood which offers stunning beauty and a feeling of luxury. On the downside, dark wood floors show scratches a little more readily than light wood. In addition, dirt and pet hair tends to stand out more on a dark surface.

Additional lighting also helped give this space a more modern look, making it more pleasing to the eye and easier to live in.

Light Wood Floors

Light hardwood floors look amazing especially when staged with dark furniture and can give you space a traditional feel. Light color wood also has a couple distinct advantages over dark wood floors. First, light wood floors tends to show less dirt, and second it is less likely to show scratches than its dark wood counterpart. Another advantage of light wood flooring is it can brighten up a room without a lot of natural light.

A modern contemporary living space with a very clean and bright look. Pale white oak wide plank wood floors were paired with light gray walls, while the furniture goes for a more unified look, using the same fabric for the upholstery. The furniture pieces were two sofas, two armchairs with wood armrests, an upholstered bench and a large wood stump coffee table with glass top. The same off-white was used on all upholstered pieces, creating a very uniform look to the living area.

This is a contemporary living room with a simple yet relaxing setup. It has a matching armchair and sofa upholstered in light cream, and two modern accent side chairs in black leather. The floors are pickled oak wood, which is a great match with the off-white walls, and helps give a brighter pop of color into this modern space.

The most unique part of this living room would be how it integrates the wall art, into the walls. It literally connects the 3-pieces sunflower artwork into the wall, by matching the wall color with the paintings’ red background, and connecting the vines/stems of the flowers, extending it beyond the canvas and into the wall. Golden pecan floors complement the yellows of the artwork well, while the simple l-shape sofa in brown suede helps keep a neutral ground in the area.

This is a simple living room with light beech wood floors and mint gray walls. The furniture pieces are modern and simple – a matching pair of sofa and armchair upholstered in charcoal fabric, with red and white accent pillows. There is also a bench with upholstered seat in black leather, and a matching pair of side table and coffee table made from bronzed metal framing and glass top.

A transitional living space adapting an open layout for a lighter and more spacier feel. With bright off-white walls and maple wood floors, the whole space looks bright and inviting, setting a good background for the living room furniture. The sofa was upholstered in off-white linen, with two sky blue tub chairs for accent and an interesting chest was used as the coffee table. Adding more texture is a shaggy rug and colorful pillows for accent, as well as some indoor plants to give the space more color.

This wonderful Asian contemporary inspired space is a perfect relaxing get-away from the busy city. With large glass windows which opens to a nice outdoor view, and even indoor trees, this space will always take you to vacation, giving you a bright environment with clean fresh air. Floors are solid colonial maple wood paired with plain white walls and ceiling, giving way to various prints and patterns used throughout the space.

For the furniture pieces, they went a little eclectic and adventurous, combining different styles and finishes. There are bent rattan armchairs for the dining area, solid teak storage cabinet by the hallway, woven rattan armchair and ottoman as accent table, and a classic sofa in off-white fabric upholstery. Among these are batik-inspired throw pillows,a colorful native-American inspired area rug and even Thai embroidered pillows. The result is rather fantastic, despite the variety, as it uses basic light colors, making the variety of patterns blend in with the rest of the interiors.
